CNMM160616-HU5 WPP20G – Turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold coated, for steel | Walter Tools

The CNMM160616-HU5 WPP20G is a rhombic 80° turning insert designed for productive steel machining, combining a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade with an HU5 chipformer to balance wear resistance and chip control.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised chipformer HU5
• Rhombic 80° shape, 1.6 mm corner radius
• Designed for steel machining

Stable edge life for predictable production

The Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WPP20G delivers a high level of wear resistance while retaining toughness, which translates into longer service life and fewer insert changes during batch runs. The coated cemented carbide substrate is optimised for the thermal and mechanical demands of steel turning (ISO P), so users can expect stable cutting performance under variable cutting conditions. Thanks to the 0° negative rake, the geometry prioritises secure edge support, making the insert particularly suited to interrupted cuts or heavier depths of cut.

Improved chip control that reduces rework

Equipped with the HU5 chipformer, this insert promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and scrap parts. Controlled chip formation helps to maintain surface finish and dimension accuracy, which supports higher first-pass yields and less rework. The rhombic 80° profile and 1.6 mm corner radius provide a robust cutting edge that balances strength with a fine surface result, ideal for roughing and mixed finishing operations in unalloyed and alloyed steels.

Simple specification and flexible application

The CNMM geometry and standard 16 mm size make this insert compatible with a wide range of toolholders commonly used in turning applications. Its designation and tolerance class indicate a manufactured consistency that supports repeatable setups and predictable process behaviour. As the insert is specified for steel applications (ISO group P), it is a practical choice for workshops seeking a versatile, production-proven solution that reduces downtime and simplifies tool inventory management.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMM160616-HU5 WPP20G is specified for steel machining (ISO group P), making it suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels.

How does the HU5 chipformer affect machining?
The HU5 chipformer promotes controlled chip breakage and evacuation, improving surface quality and reducing the likelihood of chip-related interruptions when using the CNMM160616-HU5 WPP20G.

Why choose a 0° negative relief angle?
A 0° negative relief provides enhanced edge support and durability, which is beneficial for heavier cuts and intermittent turning tasks with this Walter Tools insert.

What advantage does the 1.6 mm corner radius offer?
The 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge strength and wear resistance, contributing to longer insert life and consistent dimensional results when machining steels.

Is the insert compatible with standard CNMM toolholders?
Yes, the CNMM form and 16 mm size align with common CNMM-compatible holders, facilitating straightforward integration into existing turning setups.
